Club Monaco Get Inspired
Our friends at Club Monaco are in the midst of an excellent photo submission contest which asks the question, “What inspires you?” A pretty straight forward question, right, but when everyone has a camera in their pocket you get some amazingly diverse and subjective responses. As someone who is perpetually on a quest for inspiration, naturally my attention was peeked. Here’s a small selection of images. You can find out more and contribute here.
Gary Schneider
Gary Schneider is a South African-born artist who has lived in New York since 1977. These photographs, made without a camera, are sweat and heat imprints into film emulsion. They are on view through October 22 at David Krut Projects, 526 W. 26 St. #816, NYC.
Irina Rozovsky
Irina Rozovsky is a Brooklyn based photosgrapher. These images, from her recently published book One to Nothing, were taken in Israel and Palestine in 2008 through 2010.
Kate Costello
Los Angeles based artist Kate Costello’s current show at Wallspace Gallery, Kiki & Me, features a suite of photographs in which models pose in front of her painted patterned back drops. Evoking Parisian model and famous muse from the 1920’s and 30’s Kiki de Montparnasse, Costello’s photographs keep you looping between the model, pattern painting, and her own gaze.
Roland Ventura
Roland Ventura is a Philippines based artist currently showing at Tyler Rollins Fine Art. Using the motif of floating islands from his native country he creates a world in which elements from the underworld of natural and man-made environments are exposed and revealed as they interact with cultural signs- leaving a film of distopic residue.
The Expressionist Origins of Lisette Model
Self Reflections: The Expressionist Origins of Lisette Model opened yesterday at Bruce Silverstein Gallery, 535 W. 24 St., NYC. The show features the photographs of master portrait photographer Lisette Model alongside some of the great (and my favorite) European Expressionist such as Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, George Grosz, Jeanne Mammen, and Lyonel Feininger. The show will be on view through November 12.
Fay Ray
Fay Ray studied in New York and is currently working with John Baldessari in Los Angeles. An exhibit of her work is currently on view through November 5 at Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave. B1, Santa Monica, CA.
